Scholz Urges Quick Nomination of von der Leyen for Second Term as EU Commission President

Chancellor Olaf Scholz is urging EU heads of state and government to quickly nominate Ursula von der Leyen for a second term as President of the European Commission. This comes as most European parties have already agreed on their preferred candidates for top EU positions.

The urgency to act quickly is driven by the rise of right-wing populist parties in the EU elections and the need to restore citizens' trust in Europe. Resistance is expected, but an agreement on von der Leyen and other top positions is likely.

The EU summit will also focus on migration policy, confronting Putin's Russia, and the future of the economy. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni seeks a stronger role for Italy within the EU and may withhold support for von der Leyen's re-election bid if her demands are not met.

Meloni decries the exclusion of her Eurosceptic group, emphasizing the need for a less ideological and more citizen-driven European orientation. In contrast, the agreement by major pro-European parties, including Ursula von der Leyen as Commission President, is praised for reflecting election results and gender balance while sidelining the far-right. As Meloni's decision on supporting the deal looms, the EU summit addresses crucial appointments like the Council President and High Representative for Foreign Affairs.
